🆕 Ter Stegen makes his debut for Girona! | OneFootball

The arrival of Marc-André ter Stegen at Girona FC has marked a turning point in the recent history of the Montilivi club.

The move, arranged as a loan from FC Barcelona until June 30, meets the goalkeeper’s need to secure quality playing time to arrive in top form for the 2026 World Cup.

After more than a decade guarding the goal at Camp Nou, Ter Stegen landed in Girona with the humility of someone who must earn his place, although his authority was evident from the very first training session.

In fact, under Míchel, he was immediately included in the starting eleven for the match against Getafe, just like Fran Beltrán. Meanwhile, Claudio Echeverri started from the bench.

The romance between the Girona fans and Ter Stegen has only just begun. Although the loan contract includes the famous "fear clause" that will prevent him from facing Barcelona in the direct clash in February, the impact of his arrival is already total in terms of image and confidence. With the World Cup on the horizon and a team that plays attractive football, Marc-André seems to have found in Girona the perfect refuge to reinvent himself and lead a period that promises to be historic for the "blanquivermells".
